Long-Term PHE Maintenance: Predictable Costs and Optimal Performance

2025-06-06 09:54:14

Plate Heat Exchangers (PHEs) are very important for ensuring efficiency in engine cooling, refrigeration and important systems at sea. Even so, when PHE maintenance is unplanned, it brings a lot of difficulty to vessel operators. When vessels fail suddenly or their performance drops, unexpected repair bills come up and operations are briefly disrupted, all of which may negatively affect the vessel’s overall performance, schedules and cargo. Not taking action until problems arise can be very costly and carries a lot of risks.

Our company holds that flowing with a proactive approach helps both to secure better reliability for PHEs and lessen their associated risks. With our solution, you switch from unpredictable faults to planned, improved performance.

Our Solution: Annual PHE Maintenance Contracts

Sealong Marine provides custom Annual Maintenance Contracts aimed at vessel Plate Heat Exchangers. Such contracts set up organized care to avoid problems and sustained expenses from reactive measures. Our services cover the following area:

Scheduled Cleaning: Professional services to get rid of fouling, scaling and biological growth that greatly reduce how well your system transfers heat.

Thorough Inspections: All parts such as plates, gaskets and frames, are checked to find early signs of damage or weakness that could become problems later.

Pressure Testing: Checking if the PHE will leak under proper working conditions to quickly address any problems found.

It matches your specific PHE needs as well as your unit’s operations.

Tangible Benefits of Partnering with Sealong Marine

By signing up for our Annual PHE Maintenance Contract, you gain advantages that deal with the typical issues of maintenance that is unplanned.

Fixed Annual Cost: Instead of spontaneous repair bills, have a set and controlled expense. With our contracts, we can budget correctly and prevent the shock of extra costs if there is a PHE failure.

Consistent Heat Transfer Efficiency: Regular maintenance keeps your PHEs working at their highest level of heat transfer efficiency. Because of this, their engines, refrigeration systems and other parts work most effectively, wasting less energy and keeping the systems stable.

Extended Equipment Lifespan: Proactive checks and maintenance help equipment work longer. Identifying and dealing with small issues early on ensures they do not become significant failures and therefore helps your PHE assets last longer.

Minimized Operational Risks: The most important part is that processes become much safer. Regular upkeep reduces the possibility of big problems with PHEs happening during key board operations. It helps to decrease interruptions on ships, prevents unnecessary voyage stops and preserves perishable goods (for ships with refrigerators).
